The Bee's Knee's


Im pretty excited to announce a NEW show that we are creating for this summer, it was originally commissioned by Secret Garden Party after I wrote in with a bizarre idea for their theme : Origins and Frontiers, but is now becoming an act we are developing for future festivals and events, and dare I say it maybe even a little corporate sponsorship. (but only from an eco worthy company or issue based charity!).

The ecological importance of the bee, and its threat of extinction is something which has played on my mind for a while now, and I am really happy that my creative self has started to make a piece about it, I also, like most of us out there feel pretty outraged at the ever blatant cheek of bankers raises and the lack of corporate tax, feeling pretty small in a world overrun by bureaucratic rules and regulations this is my one of my protests.

This is my inner punk smashing all the bank windows and scrawling 'bankers are wankers' all over the walls. Which really never achieves anything does it? except bad press and a feeling of tempoary elation.

True to our manifesto this piece overthrows the status quo, mocking capitalist ideals and shines a light on a very real issue affecting all of us in todays society, (the death of the bee would be a very big one indeed).

So let me introduce you to The Bee's Knees (which is a shit name so if anyone has any better ideas please send them over, i'd be glad to hear them! )

Drum roll purleease.........

The Bee’s Knees.

Once upon a time, when land was man’s and skyscrapers ruled the kingdom , a rare little bee buzzed his way into the office of an evil business man. On the desk of the evil business man sat an evil jar of plastic flowers, (his wife had bought them from the local Poundland store the day before). The little bee was buzzing himself on one of the plastic stems when the evil business man stamped his hand on the desk in a fit of rage! “Dam stock market” he bellowed. Little bee got so scared and tried to sting the man, but the man reached inside his top drawer and released his .... EVIL CAN OF FLY SPRAY.......

Will YOU defy evil and help the bee sting the can of fly spray in the ass?

Look out for a suit, a giant can of fly spray and a bumble bee, add us (Faf Arts) as a friend on facebook and follow the adventure all the way to the garden.

Comedy. Surreal. Spectacle. Walkabout.
